We'll collect your comments, decide the official list of Editors' Picks and publish your evaluation in the headnote if the recipe is selected as an Editors' Pick (with credit, of course!). And even if the recipe you test isn't chosen as an Editors' Pick, please feel free to leave your testing notes in the recipe's comments section. Constructive criticism is always encouraged!

Click here for more details on how our community-tested Editors' Picks system works.

We've also added some incentives to reward your hard work and make things interesting. The three people who test the most Editors' Picks candidates by June 1, 2010 will be entered in a drawing to win one of these fabulous prizes:

I'm so sorry but I really dislike lamb. I'm sure these are all great as far as lamb goes, but just the same, I'd prefer to test the candied peanut butter macarons in addition to the macarons I already chose...

I just bought 2 lbs of beautiful favas. The barrel staves are already "soaked" from being stacked out in the rain(1 inch, yesterday). I am hoping that the weather cooperates with me so I don't get soaked grilling the lamb!

Because of the special holiday weekend/time frame these recipes need to be tested within, it might be difficult to find the time to prepare the possible picks. I'd be willing to test another macaroon, the Orange Cardamon Macaroons, if they don't get chosen in time, along with my already chosen Almond Pistachio Macaroons. I'm sure they won't go to waste! Maybe too soon to post but just an offer! ;o)

I can test one more recipe on Monday evening (along with the lamb I am testing this weekend) if there are more recipes that must be tested. Obviously, I can't do the all day lamb and finding lambs liver on short notice might not work either. But I think I can manage the others, just let me know.

cheese1227, if you still have time tomorrow and would like to test either the Lemon Lamb Shanks with Baby Artichokes or the Lemony Braised Lamb Shanks and Spring Root Vegetable Stew with Fresh Dill, they're both still available.

I can test Lemon Lamb Shanks with Baby Artichokes (not because the other one doesn't look great, but this one looks more doable in an evening) providing that I can get all of the ingredients at the Whole Foods after school tommorrow. I will let you know if that is not possible. I don't forsee it being an issue, but I wanted to let you know that there may be a chance that I can't test it.

It looks like Culinista Annouchka has already claimed the Kofta Pockets (for now we're sticking with one official tester per recipe). If you do make them on your own, please feel free to post your notes in the recipe's comments section. Is there another recipe you'd like to test?
